    So I bought this Bufffalo....

    ...and now I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get parts, a carb rebuild kit, and anything on/for the bike.

    It's a 75 if that's important.

    He he...well I do remember dem old Water Buffalos,not that I'd know where to get parts for one of them orphans lol.




    Suzuki's 750cc water-cooled triple was launched in 1971 as their answer to the super bikes of the day, bikes like Honda CB750 and Triumph Bonneville. The GT750 was more a sports tourer (the GT standing for Grand Tourismo) and was, basically, a T500 with an extra cylinder and liquid cooling crafted on.

    The GT750 was the first Japanese serial manufactured motorcycle with a liquid-cooled engine. It was a unique engine construction in its day and today considered one of the classic Suzukis, loved by its owners. Known as the Le Mans in America, it received soon a nickname ”Water Buffalo”, and other nicknames in other countries. It was generally known as ”Kettle” in Britain and ”Waterbottle” in Australia.

    Although smooth, quiet and comfortable, the GT750 was big and heavy. This huge, wide engined bike, which weighed in at 550 lbs, was about 30 lbs heavier than a Kawasaki Z1. The 739cc engine was an inline water-cooled triple with 70 x 64mm bore and stroke. The cylinder block was alloy with cast iron liners.

    It had a five-speed gearbox and three into four exhaust. An unusual item in its day was the handlebar mounted choke lever.

    The GT750 has apparently been sold in many countries all over the world looking virtually the same. However, the exhaust noise and pollution regulations are the reason why there are some differences in the engine performance. Also, there are more differences between countries. For instance, some model years don’t have the grab rail behind the seat in some countries, when other countries may have it. And so on.

    Had one of the last Pumpers sold in Canada. A new 78 and a massive upgrade from a 125 Suzuki. A really nice bike that I should have kept more than a year.
